Innovation & value-add

We strive to be innovative in delivering components for new vehicle models at both manufacturing stage and in the aftermarket, in order to better service our customers, improve our efficiencies and reduce our costs.

As 60% of all South African OEM output is exported, we are working to ensure that the components we produce will be compliant with the emission standards in the global marketplace.  Our newly developed TechFleece™ is one example of an innovative carbon reduction solution which reduces weight, but ensures the acoustic requirements are maintained.

This focus on innovations that facilitate noise reduction, minimise heat transfer and reduce vibration in vehicles is more relevant today as markets evolve towards hybrid and electric vehicles.  We successfully supply components to hybrid models which highlights our technical ability to make products for both internal combustion engines and NEVs.
